Brazil report says YouTube carries ads for unlicensed betting sites
A media report said YouTube was displaying advertisements for unlicensed betting sites targeting users who searched for betting videos in Brazil. YouTube said the reported content was under review and that it had updated its publication policies in September 2024; the report also said some advertised operators appeared on Anatel’s list of unauthorised sites.
Operators and regulators face compliance concerns over advertising for betting sites that lack authorisation in Brazil.
